Calculating Chemical Rates for Vines Calculating chemical rates for vines Viti-note Summary Once the dilute spray volume has been Concentrate spraying - Dilute spraying determined, the amount of chemical to To determine water rate for concentrate - Concentrate spraying put in the spray tank needs to be spraying, the dilute water volume (point calculated. of run-off) is used in the calculation. This determines the ‘concentration factor’ which determines how much Dilute spraying chemical to put into the spray tank. For example, ‘point of run-off’ (dilute spraying) was determined to be 1,500 For example, a grower may wish to L/ha in a vineyard. The amount of apply 500 L/ha to reduce lost time agrochemical to add to the spray tank is filling up and returning to the specified on the label in mL per 100 L of chemical shed. water (e.g. 10 mL/100 L). In this example, Providing coverage is adequate at 500 the spray tank has a volume of 2,000 L. L/ha, a ‘concentration factor’ can be used to apply equivalent agrochemical (as the dilute spray rate) with less water. The Sample calculation: calculation uses the dilute water volume Amount of chemical added to a 2,000 divided by the concentrate water volume: litre tank = 10 mL/100 L X 2,000 L = 200 mL Sample calculation: Other topics in this Viti-Notes series include: Once mixed, the spray is applied to the 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3 (i.e. 3 x vines at a rate of 1,500 L/ha (previously • Targeting sprays for concentration factor) vineyard pests and determined point of run-off). diseases The chemical application rate per hectare • Maintaining product can also be calculated: The dilute label rate from the chemical performance in spray Sample calculation: label is 10 mL/100 L then the concentrate mixes mixing rate becomes • Selecting and using spray Application rate = 10 mL/100 L x adjuvants 1,500 L/ha = 150 mL/ha Sample calculation: • Understanding chemical ‘modes of action’ 3 x 10 mL/100 L = 30 mL/100 L • Managing chemical resistance in the vineyard • Equipment adjustment This then becomes the chemical rate per and evaluation to 100 L that is added to the tank. maximise spray coverage • A single rate per hectare – why it shouldn’t be Sample calculation: used Amount of chemical added to a 2,000 • Determining chemical litre tank = 30 mL/100 L X 2,000 L = rates for dilute and concentrate spraying 600 mL • Determining dilute water volumes for spraying • Calculating chemical rates for vines page 1 Effective chemical use.

A multi-professional panel led by patients that aims to improve the quality of life for patients on home artificial nutrition in terms of services and products. It is a standing committee of PINNT. Our Mission . Investigating and responding to the needs and concerns raised by patients, carers and healthcare professionals with regard to equipment and services. Forging links between patients, carers and industry. Acting as a forum for users to help in product and service development and market research. Representation on the Committee The LITRE committee will always be predominantly patients and carers. LITRE meets to address individual projects and the most appropriate team of experts is assembled based on the nature of each project. LITRE will invite additional experts to join the panel with the clear intention of ensuring each additional person will bring knowledge and expertise to the project in hand. Previous Projects LITRE has historically undertaken a wide ranging number of projects over the years. A full list can be found on http://pinnt.com/About-Us/LITRE.aspx LITRE Panel Members PINNT advertised the proposed LITRE assessment in Online, on Facebook and on the website. Clear information was given in terms of how the assessment would work as the previous format has been revised. All applicants were asked to complete a simple questionnaire (Appendix 1). We were seeking applicants to represent the diverse feeding regimes as well as the various lifestyles in which home parenteral feeding is used and administered.

  • Unit Conversion 1/2
    Year 12 Chemistry Notes Unit Conversion 1/2 Unit Conversion SI Prefixes Think of the table of SI prefixes as conversion codes. 1 1 1 Worth remembering: 10 −3 = = = 103 10× 10 × 10 1000 The symbol can be replaced with multiplication by the value. Examples: 15 mL = 15×10 -3 L (the same as 1.5×10 -2 L) 2.3 kg = 2.3×10 3 g Mass and Moles M is the “molar mass” calculated by adding the atomic masses of the elements in the number given in the formula. It is measured in g mol -1 (grams per mole). Example: M =12.01 + (16.00 ×= 2) 44.01 g mol −1 CO 2 m Use the formula n = to convert from mass to moles, and m= n × M to convert from moles to mass. M Converting between g L -1 and mol L -1 Think of M as a bridge, with g L -1 at one end and mol L -1 at the other. To get from mass concentration to mol L -1 , you need to get to g L -1 first. To convert from g L -1 to mol L -1 , divide by M To convert from mol L -1 to g L -1 , multiply by M If you're having trouble remembering which way is divide and which way is multiply, you can check by multiplying or dividing the units and seeing which one gets you the right units. e.g. g L-1 ÷ g mol -1 = mol L -1 { g cancels out } Year 12 Chemistry Notes Unit Conversion 2/2 Same Unit Conversion To convert a value to a different prefix but the same base unit, complete this equation: 1 old unit = ? new units If you're converting the first part of the unit (for example the g in gL -1 or the mg in mg mol -1 ) Multiply the original value by the number found above to get the value in the new units.

  • Calculating Spray Application Information
    Calculating Spray Application Information Knowing how your sprayer is calibrated is critical if you want to determine spray application information for a specific pesticide in a sp ecific field. T his factsheet will deal with the math required to determine specific spray application information. In addition to sprayer output (L/ha or gal/acre) it is critical to know the area of the field you wish to spray, the amount of product required per unit area (kg/ha or L/ha) and the water capacity of your sprayer. By knowing these variables the amount of product that needs to be added to a tank full of water and the number of tank loads that will be applied to that field can be determined. This can be critical, as it allows the applicator to mix only the amount of product needed, saving dollars and the environment. Many producers like to work in imperial units. This can create challenges as all pesticide labels are written in metric units. T his exam includes a conversion sheet which will help producers work with the units they are most comfortable with. That being said, if you are working in metric or imperial units the principles for determining spray application information is the same. Caution: When converting from imperial to metric or vice-versa, be very careful when rounding numbers as errors can cause changes to application rates and lead to either loss of pest control or potential crop damage. When a sprayer is calculated we know the sprayer output (Volume/Area; ie. 200 L/ha) and the spray tank capacity (Volume; ie.
